In November I was in New York for PdCon 2016 and to visit my brother, thanks in large part to my friend Joe Deken and his not-for-profit, New Blankets.

The conference was fantastic. Many fascinating performances, a chance to catch up in person with people from the Pure Data community, and the opportunity to present and perform some of my own work. A highlight for me was hearing Miller Puckette, creator of Pure Data, talk about his approach and philosophy.

On top of that I got to catch up with some awesome people outside of the conference, especially my brother. We went hiking together one day - a rare opportunity to hang out together in nature.

Tonight my friend Fenris and I will play some music in a park here in
Perth, Western Australia, on Gameboy and Commodore 64 powered by
batteries and broadcast over FM radio to local speakers hanging from the
trees. We'll start playing at 9:30pm and after us our friends Atomsmasha
and Kataplexia will also play some music on Gameboys.
